IP address Hiding

[n0795]

Is there a way I can block my Ip address from anyone on the internet.
I have a router so my computer is a private address
but the router is public and people can see my ip address of the router when i am online.

Sure! if you either never send a packet to any part of the internet which needs a reply, or never connect to the internet at all, you can route to where ever ELSE you like without worry.

For 6you to get any IP packets FROM anywhere on the internet, you have to have a return address same as the US mail.

we used UUCP to send Mail into the internet without any direct connection to the net, it was all serial to the Mail service, and only IP from there.

AOL customers use propritary protocols to Virginia, then become IP at AOL headquarters I love everyone til they prove otherwise, sadly some prove otherwise SO quickly

what kind of router are you using ?
if you block ICMP on your router, then it's IP address will kinda hidden (although you can still retrieve it...)

You are using private addresses in your LAN, that means that you are using NAT or proxy to access the internet...
Are you using firewall software ? I have not failed, I just found 10000 ways that don't work
